Lector Schedule for February 2016

Dear Lectors,

I attach the Lector Schedule for February, in which I have accommodated all the absences over Chinese New Year that have been communicated to me.

NOTE: As in years past, no Lector is scheduled for the Ash Wednesday service both on the Wednesday and on the previous Tuesday evening. We ask any lector attending any of those services to please volunteer yourself as a reader and identify yourself to the priest.

A reminder as usual to:

  • Turn up early to practice by reading out loud
  • Identify yourself to the priest
  • Use the googlegroup email to find a replacement in good time, if you cannot read at your appointed time

Wishing you all a good Lent and safe travels for those who are going away during the holidays.

God bless,

Markus

Introduction to Roman Catholic Ethics

Introduction to Roman Catholic Ethics
Most of us are lucky to live in a time of peace, with a stable government, but the world is a volatile place. Watching the News for 5 minutes reminds us that conflict is never far away.
  • What did Christ say about how we should manage conflict?
  • and how can we apply his teaching to the world we live in?
ACTS Hong Kong is a new and innovative charity for young Catholics and all who seek God, in partnership with Ampleforth College in the UK. It is a learning centre, which will teach the Christian Theology course of Ampleforth College here in Hong Kong soon.

The course is being offered for teenagers and adults; and next month you will have an opportunity to experience a class, so that you can see if you would like to join for the full course.

You will be introduced to the Church’s teaching on whether a war can ever be justifiable, and why. You will have an opportunity to listen to debates around the subject, and a time to reflect in prayer.

The taster class is offered free, and places will be allocated on on a first-come first-served basis. You must register on line. The classes are:
  • Friday 6 Nov, for 14-18 year olds
  • Sat 7 Nov, for adults.
Please download a leaflet or look at the ACTS Hong Kong website www.acts.hk
You can sign up on line to receive information about future events by email or on Facebook.
